Dirk Meckstroth
Like many trapshooters, Dirk Meckstroth worked as a trap boy before blossoming into the highly regarded competitor he is today. In 1982 he began registered shooting and in his second year scored his first 100 in the Indiana State Shoot Singles Championship. Ten years later, he found himself standing on the 27-yard line.
Winning is a family affair, however. Dirk and his father, Dave Berlet, won the parent/child category 16 times at the Ohio State Tournament and four times at the Grand American. As a Junior, Dirk earned a spot on the All-Ohio Team and made the men's team for 20 years.
He has amassed more than 16 Ohio state honors, including winning the Singles AA Championship with a 199 x 200 and the Singles Class Championship AA with 200 x 200 in 2014.
Dirk also has won honors in Indiana and Michigan, breaking his first 200 in the Singles Championship AA at the ARA Central Zone Shoot in Michigan. His accomplishments also include winning trophies at the Grand American. In 2003, he posted a 200 x200 to win class AAA in the Beretta Clay Target Championship. Dirk is a 27-yard, AAA shooter.
Singles: 94,800 | Doubles: 56,350 |Handicap: 86,050
David McKinney
David won numerous honors during his trapshooting career, earning his place as a AA 27AA shooter in 1990. He was the 118th shooter to achieve the Grand Slam in 1992. David's average from 1990 to 2000 earned him 10 consecutive years on the All-Ohio Team. In 1996, he was Ohio's Grandest Shooter, sharing the honors with Pat McCarthy, Both men scored a 395 x 400.
Like many of the Hall of Fame inductees, Dave enjoyed a variety of interests and was a man of many talents. He was an excellent cook who hosted gourmet wild game cookouts during the shoots. He also loved to fish and hunt. When Dave was not on the trap line or wetting a line, he relaxed in his garden or with a pool stick in his hand.

P.O. Harbage
With Ohio's long history of great trapshooters, leaving P.O. Harbage out of the mix would be an injustice. The West Jefferson shooter was dominant throughout his shooting career. Harbage enjoyed much of his success from the 1930s to the 1950s. Winning the Grand American Clay Target Championship in 1939 was among his most cherished highlights. In 1948, he again proved a real contender for the win and finished a close second.
The Ohio State Shoot seemed to bring out the best in Harbage, who amassed five OSTA Championships in his shooting campaign. His first was a victory in the 1932 Ohio Handicap Championship, which he later followed by winning the Singles Championship in 1940. 1951 was Harbage's best outing at the state tournament, where he claimed victorious in both the Doubles Championship and High All Around. His final Ohio trophy was the High All Around title in 1953.
With his shooting skills and love for the game, the Harbage's was instantly recognizable not only in Ohio but also nationwide. On three occasions, he was selected to the All-American in 1939, 1949 and 1952.
Emory Moyer refused to let infantile paralysis make him an invalid. At the age of 4, polio paralyzed him below the waist. After therapy and surgeries, his right leg completely stiffened and he gained some mobility in his left leg with the aid of crutches and a brace. In 1939, despite his handicap, he pitched high school baseball by sitting on the mound and compiled a 17- 2 record. He became a star hard ball pitcher on one of Cleveland's senior amateur clubs exhibiting an uncanny control of the ball. He even attempted bowling and golf in the sitting position. But once he took up trapshooting, it only took him 10 years to discover he could really excel in this sport. Emory Moyer was probably the 1st man in sports history to make All-American status on crutches. This building supply salesman served as President of the O.S.T.A. in 1966 after a full term as Southwest Zone Director. He made the Zone Team 12 times, All-Ohio Team 3 times, and State All-Around Champion 4 times. But beyond the list of his numerous singles and handicap championships, the thing he might be remembered for the most, is his example to all of us. His determination, his love of the sport, and his desire to excel in spite of the limitations he faced, were the hallmarks of his career.
Charles Pidcock
Millfield, Ohio
In Southeast Ohio, Charlie is somewhat of a local legend. His friends were many as he was well known for his friendly ways and his willingness to offer helpful tips to shooters, young and old. However, Charlie's notoriety went far beyond state lines, especially when it came to his specialty, the doubles event.
He was an All-American in 1974, won numerous Grand American events, and was a regular in the winner's circle at the Southern Grand and various state shoots from 1960 to 1980. His shooting highlights include winning the Ohio Singles Championship in 1971, and the All-Around State Champion and Doubles High Gun resident in 1972. In 1973, Charlie was the Ohio Doubles Champion and the 16-yard High Gun. He won the Virginia State Shoot Doubles in 1974. At the 1976 Tri-State Shoot, Charlie won the Singles AA Class. That same year, he also won the Ohio State Doubles Open High Gun as well as the West Virginia Doubles Open High Gun Championship. In 1979, Charlie was the Ohio State Class AA Champion. Mr. Pidcock was honored on the All-Ohio Team seven times from 1972 to 1979 and served as Captain in 1977.
Mike Dehabey
Toledo, Ohio
In 1972 after returning from serving his country in the Coast Guard, Mike was anxious to get back to hunting, in particular, pheasants. He found the birds were no longer as plentiful as they had been so he wasn't doing much shooting. He decided to try trapshooting because you really got to pull the trigger and after winning a Calcutta for $80.00, he found you could make a few bucks as well!
Mike's biggest inspiration in trapshooting was his friend, Frank Little. After they met, they became fishing buddies as well as often shooting together. Mike was a student in one of his early videos. Frank was always offering shooting tips even when he was running 100 straight in a handicap race in Michigan. Mike recalls that Frank stopped to whisper to him, "Don't move your gun until you see the target."
Mike's list of shooting accomplishments is quite impressive. He has stood on the 27 yard-line since 1976. One of the best memories of his shooting career is of winning the Grand American Leo Harrison Doubles Championship in 1991 when he beat Leo in a shoot-off after running another 80 or so targets in overtime. He is also particularly proud of winning the Ohio State Singles Championship in 2007. As a Veteran category shooter, Mike is one tough competitor. His advice to himself as well as to others, "It's a self-analysis thing."
Sue Kaufman
Chippewa, Ohio
Sue has been a part of the Ohio trapshooting scene for most of her life. Sue and her beloved husband Aden, operated the Great Eastern Gun Club for 28 years from 1976-2004. It was often a family affair with her mother Jackie and step father Mac Krabill usually on hand as well. She served on the Ohio State Trapshooting Association Board of Directors for 6 years, representing the shooters of the NE Zone and continued serving an additional 4 years as the Director of Youth Shooting. Sue was instrumental in helping the O.S.T.A. make the difficult and swift move from Vandalia to the Cardinal Center. She put in long hours to be sure the Cardinal Shooting facility would be ready for its first State Shoot. She did whatever job needed to be done, even painting trap houses! Sue worked in the office at the Cardinal Center from the time it opened in 2006 until her retirement in 2012. It was Sue Kaufman who named our home grounds "The Cardinal Shooting Center." Although Sue is a life member of the A.T.A., she found that she preferred to be behind the counter at he shoots instead of behind the gun. She did win the Ladies Ohio Handicap Championship in 1985 in Vandalia. Her dedication to the shooters, her love of the sport and especially her commitment to the SCTP youth program, will never be forgotten.
Was a member of both the National Trapshooting Hall of Fame and the Ohio State Trapshooting Hall of Fame.
Won more Grand American championships than any other person in the first 75 years of the event. Made All American 21 times and captain 5 times.
Broke 59 perfect 200's and nine were in the same year. Shares the North American Doubles Championship top spot 4 times, and has captured the High-Over-All an unprecedented 7 times.
Won the Marshall Marathon 5 times and holds the record of 465 straight before he missed one out of the 500. The Marshall Marathon was an annual event that took place in Yorklyn, Delaware. It was the country's first 500 bird registered 16-yard marathon-a five day tournament.
During World War II, Hiestand served as a training officer for the U.S. Army Air Corps, teaching target shooting to aerial gunners.
He was a two term Highland County commissioner before being elected to the House of Representatives.
"He was such a great competitor all of his life," said his daughter-in-law Helen Hiestand. "He played golf well into his 90's."
Joe Hiestand is being inducted into the Highland County Athletic Hall of Fame because he was arguably the greatest trapshooter of all time. But he was much more than that. In a lifetime that spanned 97 years, Hiestand also found success as a politician, farmer, trapper, hunter, golfer, bowler, pilot, military instructor and even an entrepreneur.
It all started on the family farm off U.S. Route 50 at the western edge of Hillsboro when Hiestand was 8 years old. His father gave him a pellet gun and he started dropping sparrows.
By the time he was done shooting, Hiestand had amassed 20 North American Trapshooting championships and 33 American Trapshooting Association state crowns.
"Dad's brother Paul was also a great shot," Joe's son, Ed Hiestand, said this week. "In fact, dad said Paul might have been a better shot. But dad had something that Paul didn't. In the clutch, Paul would kind freeze up, where with dad, the pressure didn't phase him.
"He's a good example that if you have responsibilities when you're young and see them through and you're successful, it pays off later in life."
Often, Ed said, Joe and his father and brother would take the dogs, hop on a train in Hillsboro, ride 12 miles out and hunt all the way back. By the time Joe was 12, he had a .22 and soon thereafter he started running traps lines.
"He ran about 25 traps a day," Ed said. "By the end of the eighth grade had $400 worth of pelts and I think back then that was enough to buy a car."
Joe was 17 when a Richard Ruble, later the president of Delta Airlines, took him to his first trap shoot in Danville. It cost 25 cents to enter and Joe won the grand prize turkey in a shoot-off.
Joe also worked on the family farm when he was young. One day in 1927, Joe's father said the farm wasn't making enough money. So, Joe put up $1,200 to bid on a state highway mowing project and eventually won a $21,000 contract, mowing all the state highways in Highland County with horse teams.
It wasn't long after that when Joe hit the trap shooting circuit, traveling nationwide.
He started winning major championships in 1931, and 41 years later, while competing in his first Grand American as a veteran, he captured three trophies in the over-65 age group, including the high-over-allll.
Joe has been named to 21 Sports Afield All-America men's trap teams, serving as captain from 1934-36, 1938 and later in 1947-49. He won more Grand American championships than any other person in the history of the event. He led North American Clay Target competition with five wins, shared the doubles championship top spot with Hall of Famer Mercer Tennille at four apiece, and captured the high-over-all an unprecedented seven times. From 1934 through 1936, he won the Jim Day Cup, forerunner to the All-Around. High-over-all honors were captured by Joe in '34, '36 '38, '46, '49 and '56. The record 977×1,000 he set in 1949 was tied twice, but not broken until 1964.
The Clay Target Championship was Hiestand's in 1935, '36, '38, '44 and '60. The four-time doubles champion won the champion of champions honors in 1947 and 1949, and he teamed to win the brother-brother crown in 1955. Until 1972, Hiestand held the record number of 19 perfect 200s at Vandalia, where the North American Trapshooting Championships where held through 2005 before moving to Sparta, Ill.
At the 1938 Grand, Joe established a long run record of 966 registered singles and an unregistered run of 1,191, including practice and shootoff targets. After the Grand, he completed his registered run at 1,179 and finished with an unregistered string of 1,404. Those runs were not broken until 1959.
Of Joe's 33 ATA championships, and all but one (the all-around in 1945 in Florida) were won in Ohio. He captured eight 16-yard crowns from 1931-59, three of which were with 200 straights (1937, 1939 and 1949). Until 1955, he was the only person to have accomplished such a feat. He won the Buckeye doubles 12 times and the all-around the same number.
Joe broke 59 perfect 200s in his career, nine of which were recorded in one year in the middle 1930s. His .9298 on 2,650 handicap targets led ATA yearly averages in 1935, and he headed twin-bird averages in 1941 with .9457 and two years later with an even 94 percent. Joe broke 98.7 percent of 3,000 singles targets to lead in 1942, his .9879 on 3,400 clays was tops in 1947, and he paced the 1950 standings with .9895 on 2,000 birds.
Joe was also accomplished in live pigeon shooting and made a trip to Monte Carlo in the 1950s as part of a U.S. trapshooting team. Joe was the captain of the team that won the world championship and, according to Ed, he still holds the record for hitting 58 consecutive live targets without a miss.
One of the stories from the Monte Carlo trip, Ed said, is that his father and mother – longtime Hillsboro teacher Mary Hiestand – were at a dance where Mary ended up matched with some smallish guy she didn't know. She later found out the man was Aristotle Onasis.
In 1964, Joe won the Hillsboro Elks individual golf title, finishing runner-up the following year. He was also runner-up several years at the Snow Hill Country Club near New Vienna. Later in life, Ed said, Joe could shoot below his age. He quit golfing in 1973 after suffering a heart attack while golfing at Snow Hill.
In 1947, Joe was invited to what Ed said was the National Celebrities Golf Tournament in Washington, D.C. where he captained a four-some that included Olympian Jim Thorpe. The four-some in front of them included Bob Hope.
Joe also bowled. "I know he completed in it and was really good at it," Ed said.
During World War II, Joe, also a pilot, was stationed in Florida as a gunnery instructor. Ed said Joe and some of his shooting buddies were assigned to teach young aerial gunners how to shoot at moving targets.
Joe completed 18 years of government service, the first 13 as a Highland County commissioner and the last five as a state representative.
It was the family farm, though, where Ed said his dad was most comfortable.
In later years, before Joe passed away in 2004, Ed said he was able to fly, campaign and travel with his dad. But he also said he'll never forget the trapshooting days.
"It was kind of neat because Vandalia was kind of close and we got to go over the there and meet a lot of people involved in that industry, and they came to the farm a lot, too," Ed said. "Dad was always champion in my eyes."
13 straight All-American teams including Captain in 1962
1961 set two records .9936 singles average (highest in history on 2500 targets or more but shot at 3800)
4th in history to win both the All-Around and the High –Over-All the same year at the Grand

From 1958 to 1966 he registered five 100straights in doubles sharing a record with Dan Orlich
In the three years from 1958 to 1960, he won eight straight 500-bird marathons. One tied the record with a 499
In 1960, 1961 and 1963, he ran more than 700 straight from the 16 yard line each year. With his longest run 784 that last year.
From 1952 – 1973 he registered 128 perfect 100's and 7 perfect 200's
In 1956, at the age of 18, Sternberger became the youngest shooter in history to reach the 27-yard line. He was the First shooter from Ohio and the 17th in ATA history to move to the maximum yardage.
Bob and Roger Clyne
Clyne Bros. Inc., a family gun club supply business, invented and marketed the Clyne Electric Puller, which converted the cocking and release lever mechanism on trap machines from manual to electric operation. Without question, the invention revolutionized our sport.
The Clyne brothers made it possible for one person to both score and pull because the trap was released by pressing a button. This saved gun clubs time and money, and shooters began breaking better scores because their pulls were more consistent. Prior to the electric puller, traps were cocked and released manually by strenuously pulling and pushing a pipe that ran from the trap to a pull station behind the shooter.
R.E. (Bob) Clyne began registering targets in 1941. He was an ATA life member and served as a scribe for the Okoboji Indians. Aside from his job as a master machinist, Bob ran a hog farm, managed two restaurants in the Troy, Ohio area and managed the famed Camp Troy Gun Club from the mid 1940s to 1958. Under Bob's leadership, the club became known for its night shoots during the Grand American.
To help support the trap business, brother Roger worked at Aeroproducts in Vandalia, and his wife handled the office work at their machine shop.
Robert died in 1983 and Roger not long after in 1988. Both always will be known for changing the face of trapshooting.

Rolla O. Heikes
Dayton, Ohio
Rolla "Pop" Heikes was born on a farm near Dayton on Christmas day in 1856. In July 1880, he broke his first 100 straight in clay targets (remarkable at that time) and later went on to become one of the most widely known shooters in the country. While living in Utah and owning a cattle ranch, he enjoyed hunting game large and small. The Ute Indians christened him "White Chief" because he was extremely accurate with rifles and shotguns. After selling his ranch, Rolla returned to Dayton and married. He became a shooting pro in 1886 and won many championships in live birds and clay targets. Rolla was the only professional shooter to win the Grand American Handicap, as it was closed to professionals after the first year. In 1901, he traveled to Europe as a member of the American team that "invaded" England, Scotland and Ireland and won everything in sight from competitors "across the pond. At one time, Rolla held more records than any other living shooter, including a breaking 100 flying targets in 2 minutes 58 seconds Rolla was known as the "Daddy of Them All ". In 1885, he took a position with LeFever Gun Co., becoming the first man to ever placed on the professional list as an exclusive shooter. He attended 25 Grand Americans and shot for 55 years. He died in Detroit on Sep. 23, 1934 at the age of 78.
Dave Schock
Beavercreek. Ohio
As a young boy, Dave began shooting when his father would give him and his brothers, his leftover shells from a Calcutta shoot. It always was, and still is, a family tradition. Dave wanted his own two sons to work on earning a trapshooting scholarship, so he began coaching them and that was the spark that started his commitment to SCTP. He is a man who truly believes in giving back to the trapshooting community and shows it in his dedication to the development of young trapshooters. When coaching, Dave stresses safety as well as technique, but he also teaches the young shooters to be responsible. He has done wonders for the growth of the sport for future generations. Dave's dedication to the SCTP program has produced some amazing results in the youth shooting program. His long hours spent coaching, as well as serving as a Southwest Zone Director, an O.S.T.A. Vice President (2014) and President (2015), are testament to his love of the sport and the Ohio shooters.
Dave followed in the footsteps of Sue Kaufman when he took on the position as Youth Director for the O.S.T.A. He really "took the ball and ran with it!" As a coach, his kids continue to impress at local and national competitions. As a person, well, let's just say we could use a lot more like Dave in this world.
One word describes former OSTA trapshooting member George Wagner: dedication. Throughout a career that amassed 118,775 singles targets, George enjoyed some success at the Ohio State Trapshooting Tournament. His first title was the 1944 Singles Championship, following that 10 years later with the High All Around title.
A strong supporter of the Ohio State Trapshooting Association, George served as board secretary/treasurer for an amazing 21 years. While volunteering, he also cashiered state shoots during the Great Depression, doing so without receiving monetary compensation in return.
George worked to promote the sport of trapshooting, even when times were downright dismal. His devotion to the game, both on and off the range, is second to none. George truly helped lay the foundation for what we have today.
One could easily write a book about Charles "Pink" Bogert. He was a sporting goods dealer, owned a jewelry store and a bowling alley, and was a member of the Okoboji Indians tribe (Chief Sandusky). Charlie also served as chairman of the grounds at Cedar Point, where their tournaments were once held. He was a 32nd-degree Mason, and was active in the Shrine and the Lodge of Elks. He was an extremely talented football and basketball player, a competitive bowler and was equally impressive with a trap gun. In January 1928, Charlie was crowned the Trapshooting Champion of America by compiling a remarkable average of .9775 on a total of 6,850 targets. That same year his team won the Ohio State Team Shoot race and took top honors at the Grand American. His shooting career was not without controversy as a competitor in the 1937 Grand National, however. Typically a AA shooter, a stenographer incorrectly filled out his score card, placing him in Class A. Charlie broke 200, earning him first place, but the executive committee ruled that he must remain in Class A for the day. They also ordered all the 199's to a shoot-off for AA. With Charlie relegated to class A, he would have tied with a 17-year-old national Junior champ from Des Moines. Instead, Charlie refused to jeopardize the young man's title and forfeited. A three time All-American, his colorful trapshooting career ended with his death in 1945. He was 65.
In 1953, Don borrowed an old .37 single barrel Winchester and used it to win a turkey. After that, he was hooked. Two years later, he got involved with a little gun club in Marstown and started shooting registered targets.
Renowned trapshooter (and future Hall of Famer) Joe Hiestand lived 10 miles from where Don grew up, and Don set his sights on becoming a good shooter like Joe. Later, he was squadded with Joe on several occasions, and they became good friends. Don is proud of the fact that he has shot in every Grand American and Ohio State Shoot since 1955. He is one tough competitor, who is still at it today.
Larry took up trap around 1973 to improve his skills at shooting quail, pheasants, grouse and rabbits. His "first love" is the doubles competition because Larry considers himself a hunter and says that doubles simulate field hunting. The Ohio weather isn't always perfect for trapshooting, but shooting in bad weather comes naturally to Larry because, well, it just feels like hunting.
Larry has won many events throughout his long career. His walls are covered with trophies, and hutches and curio cabinets are full of ribbons and prizes. His love for the sport shines unselfishly when he mentors shooters of all ages and lends his time and talents to local gun clubs.
Emerson G. Hoblit
Brookville, Ohio
"Jerry" registered his first targets in 1937 but soon turned his attention to tool making. In 1961, after establishing a successful tool company in Clayton, Ohio, he returned to registered competition. This led to a 35-year history of entering local and major trapshooting events. He had an outstanding career that included winning 27 trophies at Ohio State Shoots and 2 trophies at the Grand American. Jerry was a pioneer in developing release triggers for auto-loading trap guns. In addition to his work on the Remington 1100, he developed the first and most sought after release trigger for the Winchester Super X.

Dallas W. Maynard
Etna, Ohio
Dallas starting trapshooting competitions in 1967 and registered his first target in 1968. Since that time, he has earned countless trophies. Dallas served as a member of the Southeast Zone Team at least 30 times and the All-Ohio Team eight times. He was All-American Veteran and Senior Veteran six times and was honored to be the Senior Veteran Team Captain in 2004. While his shooting accomplishments are numerous, Dallas also is known for his honesty, ethics and true love of trapshooting. He is proud to say "I have shot with the best of them".

Vivian was an inner-city schoolteacher in Columbus for 30 years. She took up trapshooting around 1980 after watching her husband shoot and thinking that it "didn't look that hard". Two years later, she decided to try registered shooting. Vivian found herself in her first big shoot-off after breaking a score of 98 in a handicap event at the Middletown Fall Festival, which she won. Her goal had always been to someday see her name on the "big board" and to break 100 straight. Herb Orr believed in Vivian and placed a 100 straight pin inside her gun case. Eventually, she wore hat pin after shooting a score of 80 on her first 100 of a 200-bird event at the Ohio State Shoot, following it up with her first 100 straight. Vivian has won numerous events at the Ohio State shoot, including the Championship Doubles in 1996. She has served on the All–Ohio Team six times, been a a Southeast Zone Director for two terms, the OSTA vice president in 1991-1992, and its secretary/treasurer from 1993-2006. Vivian also served as the group's first woman president from in 1992-1993. Her dream to be on the "big board" came true when she won the Ohio Handicap at the Grand in 1989, the President's Handicap in 1996 and the Vandalia Handicap in 1998. With many wins at the Southern Grand, and Middletown, she attained the 27-yard line on May 26, 2005.
Dennis Filo
Dennis is a familiar face to many of us, and a familiar voice, as well. He became a Southwest Zone Director in 1995 and in 2001, he was chosen as President of the OSTA. In addition, he served 11 years as the Ohio Delegate of the Amateur Trapshooting Association. Dennis was determined to establish the Ohio State Trapshooting Foundation, spending many hours doing the due diligence of incorporation. His efforts paid off and the dream of a Foundation became reality in February of 1997. Shortly thereafter, the Articles of Incorporation were completed in March and the Code of Regulations were adopted. Dennis is one of the forefathers of our Foundation — a project that remains close to his heart. He served as Foundation chairman and holds that position today. His passion has resulted in more than 80 deserving high school students receiving over $93,000 in scholarships. Through the years, Dennis has participated and trophied in many tournaments around the country, but he will always be known for his contribution to the Ohio State Trapshooting Association and Foundation. The Ohio Foundation stands out among all of the other state associations as it continues to grow. This charitable organization strives to improve trapshooting in Ohio through scholarships, trophies and programs aimed at increasing youth participation. Assets and earnings of the Foundation help to fund youth projects, and establish and maintain the Ohio Trapshooting Hall of Fame, of which Dennis is a deserved member.

Annie Oakley was born Annie Moses on Aug. 13, 1860, near Greenville, Ohio. She learned to shoot at the age of 8 with her father's old cap and ball Kentucky rifle. At 15 in the fall of 1875, Annie shot in Cincinnati against Frank Butler, a champion marksman. She beat him fair and square and a year later, in private life, became Mrs. Frank Butler. Annie joined Frank's shooting act and became Annie Oakley.
She met the great Sioux Chief, Sitting Bull, was adopted into the tribe and given the name, "Little Miss Sure Shot". Annie traveled with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show for 17 years. She broke 100 straight in a match race in London in 1887, setting a club record. Annie performed her magic with guns before seven crowned heads of Europe. The Prince of Wales presented her with a solid silver cup bearing the inscription, "You are the best shot I have ever seen."
After retiring from traveling, Annie taught hundreds to shoot while in Pinehurst, N.C.. She also participated in many trapshoots in the area, including the Grand American.
During her 30 years of shooting, Annie won more than $100,000 and numerous trophies, and fired more than a million shells. She died in Greenville, Ohio on Nov. 3, 1926
Aden has shot trap for more than 40 some years. Many seasoned shooters know him from his 25 years at the Great Eastern Gun Club. Newer enthusiasts will associate him with the Cardinal Shooting Center. Aden's devotion to the sport is evident by his service to the shooters of Ohio, and he is recognized is for his lifetime of commitment, his career of excellence, and his love of the sport. Aden is truly committed to the future of trapshooting. He has taken young shooters "under his wing," pointed them in the right direction and encouraged them every step along the way.
Kenneth Kamnikar
Lorain, Ohio
72,100 singles 48,850 handicap 40,450 doubles
June 21st, 2018 is a special day for Ken. Not only will he be inducted into the Ohio Trapshooting Hall of Fame, it is also his father's birthday. Louis Kamnikar, the man who introduced Ken to trapshooting, would be 122 years old. In 1930, Ken's father helped to build the Lorain Rifle and Hunting Club in their Slovenian community.
In 1962, Ken started shooting in the Army pistol team. When he returned home there weren't many places to shoot pistol, so in 1989 he seriously took up trapshooting. In 1998 at the Grand American, Ken shot his first 100 straight in handicap – a day he remembers well. His second 100 score in handicap was at the 2001 Grand American, which soon became his favorite place to trapshoot. Ken's shooting record from then to now, has been quite impressive.
Ken has enjoyed his many years of trapshooting and the many friendships made along the way. "Trapshooters are great people." Ken wants to help the future of the sport, which means supporting our youth shooters. Ken's advice to the up-and-coming shooters, "Do your best and God will do the
rest" – a motto Ken recites every time he takes the line.
Ron Charniga
Bowling Green, Ohio
235,400 Singles 234,750 Handicap 158,150 Doubles
Ron used to spend his spare time hunting pheasants and shooting crows with his
Model 12- no rib, field gun. In 1975 he decided to try protector shooting at Lowellville Gun Club with his good friend, Lou Hornyak. It didn't take Ron long to learn that he needed to add a rib and a trap stock on that gun to stop the kicking! A year later, he had discovered registered trapshooting and as they say, "the rest is history".
He shot his very first registered shoot while living in Michigan and working at Ford. He remembers that February snowstorm at the old Winchester Gun Club with the cold winds blowing off of Lake Erie and the nearby swamp. The bad weather conditions did not discourage him from working at the sport as he was on the 27-yard line in less than 2 years, and has remained there since the early 1980's. He had to overcome flinching so he
switched to a release trigger and moved up to a Perazzi, his current gun of choice.
Ron loves to shoot which is evident in the amount of registered targets he has logged over the years. His 100,000 singles target was shot at Great Eastern Gun Club in Sugar Creek and his 200,000 singles target was shot at Jaqua's in Findlay. In 2007, Ron was especially proud to win both the High Over All and the High All Around at the Ohio State Tournament. Ron advises shooters to have fun and enjoy yourself when you are out there on the trap line.
William Jaqua
Findlay, Ohio
Bill started Jaqua's Sports Marine in 1947 with the typical small sporting goods store and an even smaller inventory of guns. As his sporting goods business grew, so did his love of firearms. Bill started going to the Ohio State Shoot and the Grand American in Vandalia, long before the days of vendor buildings and sold his trap guns out of a tent. In August of 1973, he bought his first building, which at the time was considered to be at the heart of vendors row. The business moved once more down the trap line to the west, and remained there until the closing of the Vandalia shooting grounds.
In the late 70's, Bill leased the Fisher Brothers Gun Club from Bud and Bill Fisher and eventually purchased the property we all knew as Jaqua's Gun Club. In 1982, he built a gun store on the property that offered shooters the ability to "try before you buy". Shooters shopped and purchased their guns while actually standing inside the gun safe! Jaqua's Gun Club had many years of big and small, fun and serious registered shoots.
In 1943, Bill entered the Air Force to serve our country. He flew 35 missions as a bombardier-navigator on a B-17. During his career as a gun dealer, he shot 106,550 singles, 112,350 handicap and 88,450 doubles registered targets.
Bill Jaqua loved the shooters, loved making gun deals, always had a smile, and wished happiness for everyone he met. He passed away last year on December 31st, one day after his 94th birthday. Bill was aware that he had been selected for the Ohio State Trapshooting Hall of Fame and was honored to know he was to be inducted at the State Tournament.

Every day you send your child to school, but you may never realize that he or she could be a victim of bullying.
More than 200,000 children wake up every morning, afraid to go to school because of bullying.
According to dosomething.org, 90 percent of fourth through eighth graders report being a victim of some sort of bullying.
Right now, one in seven students is either a victim of bullying or a bully themselves, and more than 150,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying.
October is National Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month.
So let's all take a moment to focus on the sometimes deadly effects of bullying, whether in person or cyber bullying.
Rebecca Sedwick would've been 13 this month, but instead, her parents just planned her funeral. She was the Florida teen who killed herself in September after authorities found she was a victim of intense harassment and cyber bullying by classmates.
Authorities say the two 14-and-12-year-old girls who have now been charged in her case admitted on Facebook they bullied her and didn't care that she killed herself.
Here in Columbus, students at Northside High are leading the way in an anti-bullying campaign that expands far beyond their school hallways. They created a "Man Up Against Bullying" campaign and just got hundreds of students across Muscogee County, as well as local businesses and community members to be a part of their anti-bullying viral video recorded in downtown Columbus.
Muscogee County school district's anti-bullying policy and other helpful links can be found by searching "bullying policy" on our website.
To really prevent bullying, we must first understand it.
The website stopbullying.gov has great tips for parents, like listening closely to your kids and encouraging them to have confidence and self esteem.
Everyone knows that bullies lack self esteem, which is why they lash out.
But if we take the time to prepare children to love and respect themselves, bullies won't have any easy targets.

LAMBETH: Egyptian President Bishop Sees No Hope of Solution from Lambeth Conference
by Mouneer Anis
26 July 2008
My Dear Brothers in Christ,
Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your prayers. God hears our prayers and in His time, answers them.
The Lambeth Conference has been a time of great fellowship and strength; it has also been a time of disunity and conflict. Everything is going fairly well, but I do not believe that there is hope of a solution from this Lambeth conference. However I hope that we would be able to come up with a road map for a final solution of the current crisis.
On Tuesday 22 July, approximately 200 bishops and several primates gathered to discuss our hopes from this conference (the covenant and the Windsor continuation process). We also discussed issues which concern the Global South and other parts of the world, especially that of the faithful Anglicans in the United States. We were joined by bishops from UK, USA, NZ, Canada and Australia. We launched our new global South Anglican Catechism, thanks to Archbishop John Chew and Prof. Michael Poon who worked very hard to produce this book. We were all encouraged by the words and the presence of our ecumenical partners from the Oriental Orthodox churches. The meeting ended by singing "He is Lord." We hope to meet again soon.
There have been many benefits to the Lambeth Conference. One of the great strengths of the Lambeth Conference has been the statement from Archbishop Deng of Sudan calling for The Episcopal Church in the USA to repent and have Gene Robinson, the active homosexual bishop, resign for the sake of the Communion. This statement has shaken the foundation of Lambeth Conference.
On another positive note, Nancy and I were one of five couples who were invited to meet with Queen Elizabeth II during the Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. we had five minutes to speak with Her Majesty. We spoke about Her Majesty's visit to our Anglican Church in Algiers in 1980. She was interested to know how we find Lambeth conference. She also spoke about the Middle East and asked about Iran and our churches there. We told her that we enjoy her Christmas and Easter messages to the Church. It was a very good time.
Our daily Bible study time in small groups have included good opportunities to meet and share our thoughts, bringing tough issues to the surface and talking about them. I was encouraged by several American Bishops who thanked me for my words to the TEC House of Bishops in New Orleans.
One of them said "we needed to hear your words because our knowledge of the communion is limited." I do not believe that The Episcopal Church is going to change its direction. It is not all about sexuality but about biblical interpretation, Ecclesiology and Christology.
This reminds me with the position of US administration before and during the war in Iraq. They refused to listen to millions of voices that cried against the war. The North American churches believe that the truth was revealed to them and that the other churches in the Communion need to follow them.
Another highlight was the words given by our ecumenical partners, from Metropolitan Bishoy and Bishop Angaelos of the Coptic Orthodox Church and that of two Cardinals from the Roman Catholic. Cardinal Ivan challenged the Anglican Communion to evangelize the culture not to allow the opposite. Failing to do this, the church will suffer from spiritual Alzheimer's; if the church follows the culture and each church acts independently of the other, then the church will suffer from ecclesial Parkinsonism. The Anglican Communion was also reminded that what it does affects the greater Christian Church.
Please pray for me because on Monday 28 July we will have another debate. Last Wednesday the TEC bishops were well prepared and spoke very bluntly, making it clear that there is no turning back. I will present my thoughts to them on Monday. I pray to God for strength and direction, that He may direct my thoughts and words.
Please pray for me and all of the bishops as we determine a way ahead from this crisis, as we determine where do we want to go from here.
May the Lord bless you!
Yours in Christ,
+Mouneer Egypt

australia, Chester Osborn, d'Arenberg, d'Arry Osborn, electricity, generator, McLaren Vale, PV, saving, solar, South Australia, The Solar Project, viticulture, winemaking
THE WINE INDUSTRY going solar is about as hot as you can get right now and Stephanie Timotheou was on hand when McLaren Vale's d'Arenberg flicked the switch for its 200kW solar photovoltaic (PV) generator.
It rained, it poured and then it got worse, causing a blackout in a warehouse full of barrels, but McLaren Vale's d'Arenberg still managed to cut the ribbon and launch its solar PV generator – the biggest of its kind in South Australia.
The 200kW system is expected to save the winery more than $47,000 per year through offset electricity consumption and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent – or more than 181 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
It was designed and constructed by Adelaide-based commercial power system integrator The Solar Project just months following the installation of a 230kW solar PV system at NSW's De Bortoli Wines.
With 800 German-designed and European-made solar photovoltaic modules, the system is well-suited to the harsh Australian climate and d'Arenberg's rooftop array.
At the official commissioning and launch in December, groups of no more than 10 at a time scaled the stairs – and faced their fear of heights – to get a bird's eye view of the solar panels.
While Solar Project director of sales and business development David Buetefuer answered questions, d'Arenberg winemaker Chester Osborn was on the spot to flick the switch – and managed to avoid being electrocuted in the process as the storm raged.
Buetefuer said the company was proud to be able to provide Australian wineries with systems helping achieve clean technology outcomes.
"We are proud to be assisting winemakers such as d'Arenberg and other South Australian businesses achieve clean technology outcomes which make commercial sense using high quality components, and as a result of an appropriate project management and engineering process," he said.
He hoped the instalment at d'Arenberg encouraged other wineries and the broader food and beverage sector to pursue energy efficient business practices through clean energy supply.
Third-generation family winemaker d'Arry Osborn recalled the day electricity was first connected at d'Arenberg in 1951 and said he never thought the winery would be able to produce its own.
In addition to the instalment of a solar PV generator, Osborn mentioned several other initiatives the winery has put in place to become "greener" and more efficient.
"We now recycle 100 per cent of wastewater on-site, we've introduced organic practices to our vineyards, and we are leading the McLaren Vale Sustainable Winemaking Program."
Additional green measures such as a refrigeration monitoring system, LED lighting and insulation and setting aside significant areas of land to preserve the region's biodiversity are also being considered.
Chester Osborn said this is the second solar project d'Arenberg has undertaken with the first being installed in McLaren Flat two years ago.
His philosophy has always been to have minimal input on the vineyard and said d'Arenberg hasn't fertilised most of its vineyards for 20 years.
"Because of this the grapes have thicker skins, more flavour, there's more soil character, more minerality and better acidity – this has been a big thing of mine and other vineyards in the area are slowly getting on the bandwagon too which is great to see," he said.
Earlier this year The Solar Project launched solar systems at Tanunda's Barossa Vintners and at De Bortoli Wines in NSW.

Author: Elizabeth Richards
Edition: Paperback
Published: June 4, 2013
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile
Pages: 368
Source: ARC provided by the author
Category: Paranormal. Romance
Trailer: not available
Ash and Natalie are just starting to build a life together when things in the United Sentry States go from bad to worse. Ash and Natalie find themselves at the center of turmoil when dictator Purian Rose threatens Natalie's life unless Ash votes in favor of Rose's Law—a law that will send Darklings and other dissenters to a deadly concentration camp known as the Tenth.
When Ash can't bring himself to trade Natalie's life for those of millions of Darklings, her fate is sealed. Enter Elijah Theroux, the handsome Bastet boy Natalie once saved from her mother's labs, where he'd been experimented on and tortured. It was his venom the Sentry used to create the lethal Golden Haze, the heart of the government conspiracy that led to Black City's uprising and Ash's rebirth as the Phoenix, the face of the rebellion. Elijah is back and Ash doesn't like him; it's clear he's taken with Natalie, and Ash fears she may have feelings for him as well.
But Elijah also may have the answer to taking down Purian Rose for good—a powerful weapon called the Ora. Ash, Natalie and Elijah just have to escape Black City undetected to find it. But fleeing the city and finding this weapon (if it even exists) are easier said than done, and the quest could tear Ash and Natalie apart, even pushing them into the arms of others.
This enthralling sequel to Black City is just as absorbing, delicious and steamy as the first book, leaving readers hungry for the series conclusion.
This is another book I am so proud about! I finished reading it in I think less than six hours because there wasn't any reason I could find to put it down! I wasn't at first sure if this will break my love for Black City but sure enough, it exceeded whatever FEELS I got from the first book! And again, thank you so much Elizabeth Richards for allowing us to tour this enthralling sequel!
After Ash survives his execution, he is now called Phoenix. Rose kept quite for some time after the said charade but the day after the voting for Rose's Law, Ash is threatened. Rose knows that Natalie is the only person keeping him intact in amid of this chaos between the government and his people. He has to decide which to vote for; Natalie's life or two million darklings depending on him.
I was stunned all together! The beauty of the world Richards exposed in Black City is nothing compared to the astounding extension of it in Phoenix! Without the war, it would have been so perfect! I loved how much the world building expanded in the sequel and how the scope widen from one forest to another gorgeous town. It wasn't difficult to picture and the way Richards created it absolutely made it feel real. It also perfectly works with the plot! How nerve-wracking this book is! I have never anticipated such rush and action it would turn out! True that there is so much loss and blood but the fight against an unfair and selfish government doesn't only make it thrilling but also relatable. Even though most of the pages showcase rebellion, the paranormal touch didn't sleep in the back ground. And most importantly, the characters true identity has been kept secret until the right time has arrived. I didn't see any of it coming at all!
Ash and Natalie can totally use comfort at this point. Their relationship has been tested non-stop. Their lives are always at stake and they are almost always on the run. Despite of that, their hearts still beat as one and for sure, the circumstances make them tougher. They remain adorable and on top of their game that I couldn't wish for a perfect partner for them but each other. It was really painful for me as a reader knowing that their pain for each other is heightened by cruelty and uncertainty. They deserve rest and peace. Looking back, Elijah's role in here was the only one predictable. Figuring out if I like or hate him doesn't really matter because I still want to cradle both Ash and Nat at this point. There were several heart-wrenching revelations throughout the novel and a lot of death, but I could swat the back of Sebastian's head till he concur brain hemorrhage for all the evil things he's done.
Phoenix is one of the strongest sequel ever written! It is fast-paced, action and romance filled that would hundred and three percent get you hooked! There is absolutely no reason valid enough to put it down! The dark and light aspects are magnificent and in this novel, you will feel all sorts of sensation! Phoenix is definitely a Haze itself; addicting, soothing and heart-warming!
Thank you so much Elizabeth Richards for sending in the ARC!
""Natalie, you still awake?" I whisper. She doesn't respond. Only now that she's asleep, do I let the tears fall."
Anyone who follows my Facebook page will know I'm obsessed with owls, specifically my two mascots, the Book Owls! The green owl is Byron, and the pink owl is Emily. Aren't they adorable? They were a gift from my mum on the day BLACK CITY was released, so they have a very special place in my heart, and I consider them my good luck charms.
Since getting my Book Owls, I've spawned a considerable collection of feathered friends. The latest additions are the Errol and the Chicks. Awwwwww!I also have an owl watch, doormat, mug, cards, post-it notes, jewelry, purse, and even an owl-shaped glitter lip-balm! So I've definitely stepped into Crazy Owl Lady territory. It's probably time to stop, as my study is starting to look like the owlery from Harry Potter:Then again, I did see another adorable owl cushion yesterday. Mmmm, maybe there's room for one more…

Every four years all eyes turn to figure skating during the Winter Olympics. If you're like most, you're probably a casual fan and noticed something different tonight in the men's short program as it was contentested for the team competition. For the first time in the Olympics, singles and pairs skaters can compete to music with lyrics.
That led us, at NBCOlympics.com, to ask a very important question:
The freedom to choose a song with lyrics has been met by mixed reaction from both fans and skaters alike. Perhaps, the most newsworthy example of a skater taking a risk with lyrics is Jimmy Ma, who has performed his short program to Eminem and "Turn Down for What" at the 2017 United States championships.

At age 17 during my senior year of highschool, I was at a crossroads. "Should I turn against my religious beliefs and how I was raised or should I listen to my heart and live the life that I want?" I chose to be a righteous Christian and a good daughter. Yet, I felt more disconnected with my Faith each time I prayed about my "ungodly" feelings.
I want to come out to my friends, but how do I make sure they'll accept me?
I'm bisexual, and I really would like to tell my friends. I mean, they seem pretty open-minded, being pro-gay rights and generally accepting. The thing is, they're being open-minded from afar. If they found out that one of their closest friends is bisexual, I'm not sure they'd be too keen on the idea of having a bisexual girl friend....
Q is for Questioning
What's it mean to be questioning, why would you or someone else identify that way, how do you deal in the process and how might you answer the question?
The GLBT National Help Center
Operating the Gay & Lesbian National Hotline and several different programs that help members of our community talk about the important issues that they are facing in their lives.
I'm bisexual, so why don't I feel exactly the same about men and women?
I'm 17, male, and have considered myself bisexual for 2 years now. I find myself emotionally attracted to women and sexually attracted to men. I like women in a certain way, I like to be in relationships with them. I see myself having kids, many in fact. But I'm not feeling sexually attracted to them, except for a few but can't find myself to have sex with them....
Should I be concerned about his sexuality?
Although I feel a little ridiculous asking this considering I should be more openminded towards sexuality and experimentation, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I started dating a man 10 months ago. I'm 18, he turned 26 around three weeks ago. He was married before, and she left because of her claiming to have been bored in bed and in general....
The Cutting Room Floor: Masculinity, Gender and Orientation
Why is that Katy Perry can sing "I kissed a girl and I liked it" but most people would find it strange if a straight male singer sang "I kissed a boy and I liked it"?
Attracted to women 24/7, but attracted to men in my fantasies--does that make me bisexual?
I am a 15 year old male. I have been straight my entire life and have some romantic experience with girls. As a whole I am very attracted to girls. I absolutely worship the female body, and am turned on by them. But recently I've had some thoughts about guys as well. I have watched some male pornography and found myself turned on by attractive male models online....
I thought I was gay but now I'm questioning my orientation
turbo18 asks:I've known I was gay for about 5 years (im now 19). Lately however something's been "wrong," I'm being attracted to certain women! I've even started looking at "straight" porn. Last night I made out with a girl for the first time, and I even asked her out and I have strong feelings for her (she knew I was gay). I feel as I've lost my identity....

What is up with the whole, "it comes in threes" thing? It's like a mystery of the universe or something! We just hit this phenomenon head on this weekend. It was our car, our refrigerator, and our fence line; all broke 😣. The end result for each example is to replace each one! Whew!!! That's a lot of dough for the Saving Benji house! Money is stressful; and when you have to pay a large amount at once unexpectedly, it can be even more stressful! Thankfully though; we have an emergency savings that is saving our tails. So, during this trial I am definitely thanking the Lord for that blessing. Now, I do have to admit something about myself. The new car that we are going to buy isn't a new car; it used, and the fridge won't be at the top of the line, and the fence won't be stunning; and yes their is an area in me that wants new. I do struggle with this arena in my mind, because new is sooooo shiny and exciting! On the flip side; what's nice about buying the used car, the not stunning fence, and not the "top of the line" fridge is that we will pay in cash (according to our budget), and have zero payments; which I love!!!!!! Freedom!!!!! By lowering our emergency fund to cover costs, this will mean a strict budget plan to rebuild our family's emergency fund. This entails Sunday night budget meetings, meal planning, and not spending too much money on the materialism side of life. This is good though. It allows us to be disciplined, in control of our cash flow, AND accomplish a goal; which allows our family to feel empowered!! So, if your able, try and start an emergency fund. Make sacrifices and sometimes choose to go without what everyone else has and bank those Benjamin's! Ya never know when you will get caught up in a whirlwind of expenditures.
Save Yourself From NOT Having Benji's & Earn
It Comes In Threes
Up To My Eyeballs In Debt
I was hanging with some great ladies yesterday and we were talking finances. I was spilling my truth about how I do struggle with materialism, and how at times I have to talk myself down from the spending tree. Sometimes I catch myself wanting something newer, bigger, brighter when I notice another person with a "better" object or situation. My girlfriend said….(which was pivotal), "They may have a new this or that, but are they happy?" Great point! If you've got newness, but debt who the hell wants that?! It causes stress and fake happiness. My family and I live a simple life, and I appreciate that. I have a VERY financially conscious husband that keeps us grounded, I LOVE him for that. My girlfriend also said, "I may not have the newest, but I find comfort in the fact that I look at our bank account and realize because of our choices we are very financially stable." I agreed 100%, because I do the same dang thing with our accounts. What's shiny on the outside is not always shiny on the inside. She told me about this commercial that came out a few years ago, and I had never seen it. I looked it up and had to share:
How many people do you know that are dealing with the same issues as our boy Stanley is in the video? I don't know about you but, I don't want to be Stanley. Yea his house is nice, his car is cool, but what's in store for Stanley's future? How do you deal with fighting the urge of materialism?

Reverse Engineering of an Electric Vehicle Motor and Tests of a Charging Station
Nowadays the attention given to the environment is growing up considerably. With increasing concern over the environment and stringent emissions regulations, the electric vehicle has been investigated as an alternative form of transport. There are many advantages but even many disadvantages of an electric vehicle.
The first advantage is that no gasoline is required, there is no combustion and so there is no pollution associated with internal engine. Nevertheless, they still have environmental costs. The electricity used to recharge the batteries has to come from somewhere, and now, most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels. Of course, this produces pollution. Imagining a future generation of electricity, for the most part produced by renewable sources, there will be no pollution generated by energy production. An electric vehicle is really silent, the motor makes almost no noise. To avoid accidents, the car manufacturers have,even, to install a device that makes a little noise for pedestrian safety.
A big disadvantage of electric battery vehicles is the time required to recharge the batteries. This process can take up to 15-20hours. Even the autonomy is one of the major disadvantages, because with a common 24kWh battery package it is no possible to travel for more than 200km. The last but not the least disadvantage is the price. The purchasing cost of an electric vehicle is higher than the cost of a "normal" engine vehicle. This is mainly due to the battery package and to the low volume of production.
The electric vehicles have already achieved excellent performance skills, in terms of speed and acceleration, due to the electric motor. An electric motor is far more efficient than an internal combustion engine (90% instead of 40%), with a smaller footprint than a combustion engine. Despite these really good performances , there is still much work to do to be able to make an electric vehicle comparable to, or better than, a regular vehicle with combustion engine. However, the electric vehicle suffers from relatively short range and long charging times. Therefore it is fundamental to design more efficient traction motors for the electric vehicles and to improve the charging station to have a reasonable improvement of charging times.
The aim of this work is to analyse the electric vehicle motor and the charging station system. The thesis describes Electromagnetic and Thermal simulations of the Nissan Leaf motor in different operating conditions trying to give an useful help to the improvement of the motor. Afterwards the simulations are compared with the real thermal results. Even a study of the charging times, of the electrical parameters during the recharge is carried out.
The drive motor used on the Nissan LEAF is an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPM) with an original design adapted to the ways in which EVs are driven. Compact in size, it delivers high power and efficiency to support the quick response characteristic of EVs. Generating maximum torque of 280 Nm and maximum power of 80 kW, the motor provides the high levels of performance required of EV drive motors and attains a top speed of 10,390 rpm. As part of its basic structure, a water cooling system has been adopted to facilitate higher continuous power output and a resolver is used as the rotary position sensor to ensure high response.
This thesis is divided into five chapters:
1. The first chapter are presents the process for the creation of the Nissan Leaf motor model and the results of the ElectroMagnetic and Thermal simulations.
The softwares used for these simulations are Motor-CAD and Motor-LAB, but even a results comparison is conducted using Ansys Maxwell. This part has been performed in England at the Motor Design Limited Headquarters.
2. The second chapter concerns experimental tests. Few thermal tests are carried out to compare the simulations results to the experimental tests. In the second part of the chapter few autonomy and performance tests are performed. This part of the thesis has been developed at the Loccioni Group.
3. The third chapter takes under examination the Charging Station Systems and the way they recharge the EVs. The charging stations analyzed are two: the Enel Pole Station 2G and the Schneider EVLink EVF1S. Even this part of the thesis has been performed at the Loccioni Group.
4. The fourth chapter shows a cost analysis of an electric vehicle and of the energy required for the recharge.
5. In the last chapter few innovative systems for the electric vehicle recharge are presented with a system using the solar energy to recharge batteries and another called Leaf to Home.

It has been absolute awesomeness to work with this group of 5th and 6th graders. We have 19 kids, 2 dogs, and 2 teachers and we are already off to a great start for the year. Here's a little summary of what we've done so far, although there's no way for me to capture the enthusiasm, energy, and synergy of this group of kids, so you'll have to read all this while imagining that part.
In language arts, we started a class read-aloud of Hoot. The students have easily adapted to an easy style of sitting in a circle, often while eating a snack, and actively listening to the story. We stop often to chat. For example, we might discuss the various characters, what we know about them, and how the author is introducing them to us.
After reading chapter 3 on Thursday, we divided into small groups to illustrate different parts of the book. The results of that were the following:
(1) the pick-up truck with the port-a-potties, (2) another rendering of the same but with the alligator chasing the policeman out, (3) 4 different versions of the mysterious running boy jumping over the dog, (4) a student modeling for his group doing drawing #5, (5) which is the bully pushing the main character's face against the bus window, and (6) the bully choking the main character over the back seat of the bus.
We are also three days into writing workshop, where our mini-lessons have mostly focused on what writing workshop actually is (spoiler alert: it's a time to write!) Then we turn on the music and have quiet writing time, which the students have also eagerly embraced. Is it because they get to go to recess afterwards if everyone is focused? Perhaps. Or maybe we just have a class of future authors and communicators. Either way, writing time is a magical time. Our final workshop of the week ended in sharing time where a few students shared a page of their work out loud.
We've also been busy scientists. After learning about what science is and what it means to be a scientist, they collected pill bus for further study. We've also started to learn about classification so that they have a sense of how all the animals they are about to observe and study are related.
Here are a few photos of the pill bug collection:
Here are a few about learning about science and practicing classification:
And if that doesn't seem like enough, we also (collectively) lost two teeth! Hopefully our second week will be just as awesome. I'm restocking the lost-tooth necklaces just in case.

Spooky Face: A Tough Trip Through Paradise
January 6, 2017 by: Ty Guarino
Share this story:
It was the spring of 2012, my senior year of College at Montana State University. I was just starting to cut my teeth as a serious ski mountaineer, and I was becoming eager for something more meaningful than continually pounding out ridge laps at Bridger Bowl. My Friend had a copy of Turiano's ageing guidebook to skiing in the Tetons, which contained and documented the 1990s golden age of extreme ski mountaineering in the high peaks. It was then that I first started dreaming about the Spooky Face, an ominous and virtually untouched line that was first skied in 1995 by Stephen Koch, Hans Johnstone and Mark Newcomb.
The allure of the Spooky Face is much different than that of other classic ski lines in the Tetons. Unlike many of the trade routes and couloirs in a range that is recognized for its offering of splitter walls and large fall lines, Spooky Face is a sleeper pick. It's difficult to access, relatively short, wickedly exposed, and requires confidence in many different skiing and mountaineering techniques seldom needed in less committing lines. All of these "undesirable" characteristics that define the Spooky Face made it exactly the type of skiing that I aspired to be comfortable with. But there was very little public information – or even local knowledge – on how and when to ski it.
Now, in 2017, life has taken away more and more of our personal skiing time. It has become exceptionally rare to find an extended week to reserve specifically for the Tetons; something I would do frequently in my four years after college when I would sacrifice almost anything for the pursuit of skiing. From the spring of 2012 until the spring of 2016 I did whatever I could to make ends meet and to ski as much as possible. I spent the majority of my life homeless, dirt poor, and hunting weather windows to fulfill my addiction to skiing and ski mountaineering.
It seems that when you are on the correct path, that events unfold in a way that is too peculiar to be summed up as just coincidence. This past winter I gave up my life as a full-on ski bum and became a "working man": a joke amongst my friends to describe my full-time position as a ski patroller and backcountry skiing guide. I love the work that I do, but turning my deep-seated passion into employment has also changed my relationship with skiing. Tough Trip Through Paradise is the name of a book about early Montana's wild frontier, a book which cleverly describes my attitude towards turning play into work. Ironically, the same winter that I started working 50-60 hours a week, my dream lines finally presented themselves.
We took turns putting our skis on in the 50-degree pocket of snow that entered the route proper. We proceeded by threading in and out of the "eyes of the face," calling through the fog when we reached islands of safety. We skied to the bottom of the snowfield in perfect snow, and then worked quickly to piece together a rock-anchor; our exit plan required us to make a 60m overhanging rappel into the east hourglass couloir.
"One of the finest," my close friend Aaron said to me with a smile as he split-skied out of Garnet Canyon, enroute to our destination of Dornan's for an après beer.
